    Braised lamb chops in the slow cooker

    I once had a rule that was: "I wouldn't pay more for the wine than I did for the steak". That worked for a while but there are some excellent wines out there. There is a Christian Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon that is pure heaven for about $fifty dollars a bottle. There are a number of...

    Your wine is twice the price and I prefer to buy Canadian. For twelve or fourteen dollars a bottle there are a lot of great Canadian wines.

    Mars is inhabited.

    Braised lamb chops in the slow cooker

    If you don't like it, you don't like it. At one point I hated Parsnips and turnips, both of which I love now. Maybe it's body chemistry....:roll:
